But I never claimed it was a "cool idea" in the first place. I said,
and I quote:
#{foo bar baz} is somewhat ugly. It occurs to me that one could modify
the reader to additionally accept ... it looks nicer, IMO ..."
There's two statements of opinion -- X is somewhat ugly and Y looks
nicer than X -- and one statement of fact, that Y could be implemented
without it being a breaking change. The former two are somewhat
subjective and the latter was proved true.
So, I've been attacked for purportedly holding a much stronger
position on the matter than I really do.
In any event, the die is cast now. Either I successfully defend my
having made that original post as not having been a wrong/unreasonable
thing to do, or else people regard me as having done a
wrong/unreasonable thing. There's no alternative, by the law of the
excluded middle.
